The Duluth Police Department would like to remind citizens to limit any travel and allow extra time if you must do so, as the Winter Storm continues in our area. We responded to 36 crashes yesterday and another 14 today (one today which resulted in minor injuries) for a total of 50 since the snow event began. Please remember to use the 21st Avenue West detour as the quickest route around the I-35 construction.
The National Weather Service has provided us the following update for the next few days:
Temperatures will remain in the 20’s tonight with the snow strengthening sometime after 11pm. We are expecting to see an additional 15 inches of snow. This will bring a storm total to over 30” and possibly higher in areas receiving lake enhancement snow. The winds will pick up tonight out of the east with gusts of 30mph. The snow and winds will continue all through Wednesday into the evening. Wednesday evening the winds will shift from the East to the Northwest and temperatures will plummet. Thursday morning temperatures will drop to -11. Temperatures will remain cold with lows in the -20 degree range throughout the weekend.
This is a dangerous storm and no unnecessary travel is advised. Please take your time when shoveling the wet snow. However, If you don’t have it shoveled by Wednesday evening, it will freeze and be difficult to remove.
Be Safe!
